So I got my car back from the local Porsche shop and installed a rebuilt MPS from Bowlsby but the car is still not running right. Flat spots and intermittent dead fire misses. She starts right up, idles well and drives ok but when you get on it it has intermittent flat spots and when shes just cruising it misses once and a while. Seems like the advance is not ramping up like it should. Also, the mechanic left a vacuum line off the distributor. The line from the inboard connection on the pot is hooked up but the outside one is off. I understand that one of these is advance and one is retard.
Just need a list of crap to check (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I had some time to mess with the FI last night. I found a vacuum leak around the throttle body to plenium gasket. Not having a new one handy I pulled the TB and cleaned the surfaces with cleaner and some sand paper. When I put it back together and started the engine it revved out of control. I reset the TPS, pulled and cleaned everything again. Same issue.
I got in it this morning and heard a click when I pushed the clutch in. The throttle cable was stuck under the clutch armature (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Now the idle can be adjusted with the adjustment screw and she runs a little smoother. It wants to die when the screw is too far in. Next I want to sort the AAR. I like how the car starts with it working. I also bought an LM2 exaust gas analyzer. I'll double check all the vacuum stuff again and see what it's reading. |
